Summary:
The 95673 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Twin Rivers Unified School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 1148 out of 1560 in California and has a 1-star rating, a few standout schools in the area are worth noting.
Heritage Peak Charter, an alternative public charter school, stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 92.2% and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 0.0%. It also performs relatively well on standardized tests, with ELA proficiency rates above the state average in most grade levels. Similarly, Westside Preparatory Charter, a public charter middle school, has the highest test scores among the schools in the data set, with ELA and math proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages.
In contrast, the other schools in the area face significant challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.1% at Westside Preparatory Charter to 36.4% at Dry Creek Elementary. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between poverty, as measured by free/reduced-price lunch rates, and academic performance, with the schools serving the most economically disadvantaged communities struggling the most. These findings suggest that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and educational approaches, play a significant role in student outcomes.
